Nba draft/offseason

[NDballer13]

It's not like he's in control. Doesn't he still have 4 years left on a contract? It's not like the Nets have to do anything just to make him happy some place else. They'll make sure they get what/who they want.

Wow. KD is never happy.

[Deleted User 863]

KD wanting to go to Phoenix or Miami makes me LOL.

Portland should be offering anything/everything.

Pelicans should be offering up Zion or (and?) Ingram.

Wonder if a team will also try to take Irving or Simmons as part of whatever KD deal comes together. Because Irving or Simmons alone has very little value to many teams....but if you can get happy Kyrie and happy KD together without a totally decimated lineup then that may be as close as many franchises will be able to get in the current landscape with some really good teams positioned well for the future.

I really don’t see that Phoenix core ever winning a title. I’d be interested in KD were I them.

Booker for KD?

If they could get it done for Ayton Bridges and Johnson then sure....but I think it'll take more than that.


And fwiw I am not saying PHX shouldn't be interested. I just think it's funny how KD picks who he wants to join. GS. Now maybe PHX or MIA.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Yeah, it will take Booker.

Which would be a tough pill to swallow but Booker could easily turn into one of those super max players that looks like they just miss the cut of superstar and they end up being a great player on a bad team in a not-so-hot market. Like Lillard or even Beal.

Especially with Ayton likely gone from Phoenix, all of the sudden you have a Super max, but not a superstar, player on a good but not great team in some of the most important seasons of that guy's career. I'd shake it up.

Miami might have enough assets to take on both KD and Kyrie. They could move Lowry Herro Robinson and about 3 picks and it'd be enticing enough. Wouldn't even have to give up Bam.

Then Miami has a starting lineup of Kyrie Strus Butler KD Bam. That'd be a squad.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

It will take Booker? Then I would crack up if they did make the trade because Booker is the primary reason why Durant would like to play for the Suns.
Fuck Kevin Durant.

Fuck Kevin Durant.

I suppose if the Nets are in a position of zero leverage, they would have to settle for either CP3 or sign and trade with Ayton.

Suns clearly win either of those.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

In one year the Nets went from front runners to win the East to a complete disaster.
Sean Marks should be packing his bags right now.

Hornets should lose their leading scorer. The question is if Miles Bridges serves any jail time.

The not so funny thing is these were his words after the mouthpiece incident - which pretty much showed the guy has difficulty controlling his anger.

“I lost my cool last night with a lot of stuff that went on,” Bridges said. “I normally don’t act like that and that was an embarrassment on my part and for the organization.”

Booker ain’t leaving Phoenix.
He got the supermax.
So did Joker.

Ja also got paid big bucks.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

About 400 million ago.

[CrimsonNBlue]

So NBA rules state a team can only have one player on rookie max 5-year contract extension. So that means Nets can't trade for any of these guys--Booker being the most notable one here.

This just makes it even easier to LOL at the Nets, and also see what a waste having Ben Simmons on your team is.

[pdub]

Celts make a good move for Brogdon.

Brogdon
Smart
Brown
Tatum
Williams

Horford, White, Grant Williams, Gallinari ( looks like they'll get him once released )

The Utah Jazz are trading Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves for multiple players and first-round picks, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Jazz are receiving Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley, Walker Kessler, Jarred Vanderbilt and multiple first-round picks in the deal, sources said.

KAT and Rudy?

[pdub]

KAT sucks on defense.
Shoots 41% from 3.
Four 1st round picks + players.

Two bigs!

That's a lot for a center who "isn't top 4 or 5 in the league".

Are we considering AD a Center?

If not, then I'd have Gobert 5th.

Embiid
Jokic
KAT
Bam
Gobert
Vucevic
Ayton
Valanciunias
Capella
Nurkic
Wood
Robert Williams
